If you have a horse cut late say as a five year old. Will its crestyness still remain?

I would say most definitely. I have one who was cut at 6 or 7 and he is still cresty (now age 20), but totally un-stallionlike.

Lance was cut at 5, has huge neck even now at 18, but its not cresty its muscle.

My old pony was cut late though (age 7 then but now 18) and he doesn't have any crestiness? Sometimes he still thinks he's a stallion but otherwise you would never know

Is it ??!
Looks cresty to me!
Stupid question alert - why do stallions get big necks anyway??

Depends but most likely. Kiwi was done at 4 and is now 12 with the most unbelievable crest. The riding club breeding stallions are cut late afterwards to continue ridden work. I know three and they are all cresty still.

We had our old pony cut at 10 or 11, he came to us as an entire driving pony to be sold, our kids were riding and driving him, but we thought he would be easier to sell gelded, so we did, then my OH bought him for his daughter!
He is still quite cresty but he is a Sec D, although he is a runt at just on 13hh!
He is the loveliest pony ever and so cute. We have now sold him to friends for their children to love and enjoy him!

I have a welsh A who was cut at 4 and had a welsh d on loan, also cut at 4. Both necks did downsize, but not completely.

Cresty to me is the fatty lumpy necks seen on obese natives and stallions etc.
I think stallions tend to have muscular necks, not 'cresty'.
Lance with summer coat this year ( he is under lots of fur at the mo!), I dont see a crest:
THIS is a crest:

That just my interpretation of cresty anyway, a pony we had that was sadly lost to lami had a huge crest from obesity.
